Considerations about the concept of “terroir”: definition and research direction

Abstract

On exposera la distinction et la relation entre: “Etude des milieux”, “Zonage Petit ou Zonage Technique ou Sub Zonage”, “Grand Zonage”, “Délimitation des zones productives” ex. vitivinicoles, entre “Terroir”, “Territoire”, “Terra – Nature”, “Univers” d’après la “Grande Filiera” (“Grande Filière”), entre “Qualité organoleptique classique” (technique), “Qualité perçue par le Consommateur ou Préférence” et les autres “qualités” (environ 90) , entre “Pyramides de la Qualité classique”, “Pyramide du Consommateur”, Pyramide de la “Quantité – Préférence”, etc. 
Il est mis en évidence que les “zonages” (“Grands Zonages” selon le “Grande Filiera”) doivent descendre et s’harmoniser avec les objectifs (“Grands Objectifs”selon la “Grande Filiere”) de l’activité [maximum (meilleur) profit économique socio environnemental existentiel éthique meta éthique selon la “Grande Filiere”] et non pas avec les moyens utilisés pour atteindre ces objectifs (ex. “terroir”, “qualité organoleptique classique”, “paysage”, “tourisme”, les techniques de culture, etc., etc.). On souligne par ailleurs l’importance fondamentale qu’assume de plus en plus la “Qualité Economique”, la “Qualité Socio-Environnementale”, la “Qualité Existentielle”, la “Qualité Ethique” selon le “Grande Filiera”, l’ approfondissement de façon adéquate et la définition de manière universelle de la terminologie et, à la fin, le lien de la technique, de la recherche aux objectifs et non pas aux moyens.

Is it possible to approximate the technological and phenolic maturity of grapes by foliar application of elicitors?

The increase in the temperature and the more severe water stress conditions, trends observed in recent years as a consequence of climate change, are leading a mismatch between the technological and phenolic maturity of grapes

Mapping climate and bioclimatic indices at high-resolution in vineyard regions

Many of the world’s vineyard regions are located in regions of complex terrain, with the result there is significant local climate variation.

Armenia: historical origin of domesticated grapevine

The Armenian highlands are located on the northern border of western asia and stretch up to the caucasus from the north. Throughout human history, country has played an important role in connecting the civilizations of europe and the near east. The recent large-scale study about the dual domestication origin and evolution of grapes approved that in the Armenian highlands human and grapevine stories are interlaced through centuries and roots of grapevine domestication are found deep in the pleistocene, ending 11.5 thousand years ago. Findings of this study confirmed that glacial episodes distinguish wild grapes into eastern and western ecotypes around 200-400 ka.

Asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation with online multidetection is a viable tool to investigate colored red wine colloids

Despite its relevance for wine quality and stability, red wine colloids have not still been
sufficiently investigated, an occurrence due to the lack of suitable analytical techniques to study them as they are present in wine.
